Chapter 87 Mr. Shang
Pei Yuning was young and liked to be coaxed, so after hearing this, she put her arm around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
The two of them kissed each other for a while.
"It's late, baby, apply the repairing cream and go to sleep." Shang Yanci got up from her, sat on the bed, covered the quilt below her waist, reached out to take the repairing cream on the bedside table, squeezed it out and handed it to her.
Pei Yuning turned over and lay on his side, put his hand on his waist, and said meaningfully: "Ayan, don't you want me to help you?"
Shang Yanci whispered, "No need."
Pei Yuning: "Are you sure?"
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple rolling slightly: "Confirmed."
Pei Yuning sat up, took the repair cream from his hand, sat on his legs, put a little transparent repair cream on her fingertips, and gently applied it on him.
The tattoo had been scabbing over the past few days, and it was itchy all the time. Pei Yuning's soft fingertips touching it made it even more unbearable. Shang Yanci clenched his hand at his side into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand were very obvious, and his breathing became increasingly heavy.
"Alright." After applying the repair ointment, Pei Yuning took the bottle cap from Shang Yanci's hand, closed it, and put it on the bedside table.
Shang Yanci said "hmm" in a very low voice.
After Pei Yuning lay down, Shang Yanci immediately raised his hand to turn off the light. It would be much better if he didn't look at her face.
Pei Yuning lay on her side, put her arm around his waist, and said softly, "Good night, Mr. Rose."
Shang Yanci kissed her forehead: "Good night, baby."
The next morning.
Because of the tattoo these days, Shang Yanci stopped exercising in the morning and would sleep longer with the baby in his arms.
But today, before Pei Yuning woke up, Shang Yanci got up from the bed, washed, dressed, went downstairs to the kitchen, and made cream of mushroom soup for her.
"Good morning, sir." Aunt Zhou was making breakfast for the family in the kitchen.
"Good morning." Shang Yanci found the ingredients and processed them slowly and methodically.
Aunt Zhou was used to this. Her husband often did things for his wife. There were very few men like him who were rich and powerful and willing to take the initiative to cook for his wife. Otherwise, his wife was a lucky person. She was spoiled at home and after marriage. She was born with a good life.
Pei Yuning's morning coffee habit has increased from once a day to two to three times a week.
Because of the vanilla milk cooked by Shang Yanci at night, and because he held her in his arms and coaxed her to sleep, Pei Yuning now has very good sleep quality every night. She is not sleepy during the day, so she naturally does not need coffee to stay awake.
After Pei Yuning got up, washed and put on makeup, she went downstairs carrying a newly bought exquisite and beautiful small bag.
Shang Yanci sat at the dining table, drinking a cup of tea. In the mist of tea, his eyebrows and eyes were as soft as a painting, and he whispered with his thin lips: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Pei Yuning saw cream mushroom soup on the table. While her grandparents were still downstairs, she quietly kissed Shang Yanci and said in a sweet voice, "A Yan, how did you know I wanted to drink cream mushroom soup?"
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at her sparkling red lips, his Adam's apple rolling slightly: "We are in sync."
Pei Yuning smiled with a smile on her face, took out a tissue and wiped off the red lipstick marks on his lips.
Hearing the sound of his grandparents' door opening, Pei Yuning crumpled the tissue in his hand into a ball, stood up, threw it into the trash can, then returned to the dining table and sat down obediently like a primary school student.
Seeing her trying to cover up her lipstick, Shang Yanci teased her intentionally: "Baby, there's no need to crumple the tissue with lipstick marks on it like this. If it's stained..."
Pei Yuning immediately raised his hand and covered his mouth: "Hush!"
Shang Yanci stared at her with burning eyes, smelled the light fragrance from her palm, and kissed her with his thin lips, making a slight sound.
Pei Yuning didn't have the same good attitude as him. When he withdrew his hand, his cheeks and ears turned red, and his head lowered as if he wanted to crawl under the table.
Grandpa and grandma walked down the stairs and came towards the restaurant.
Shang Yanci: "Grandpa and grandma, good morning."
Pei Yuning raised his head and said something.
Grandpa and grandma: "Ningning, Xiaoci, good morning."
Grandma saw Pei Yuning's face and asked with concern: "Why is Ningning's face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Yuning: "...I'm hot, grandma, summer is here, I'm afraid of the heat."
Shang Yanci chuckled.
Pei Yuning couldn't bear it any longer and stepped on his foot silently under the table.
Grandma: "Is that so? Then let your grandpa cook some mung bean and lily porridge for you. Drink it when you come back in the evening to cool down."
Shang Yanci scooped a bowl of cream mushroom soup, placed it in front of Pei Yuning, and said softly: "Don't bother grandpa, I will make it for Ningning when I come back in the evening."
Pei Yuning glanced at him delicately and snorted in her heart.
Grandpa: "What's so tiring about making porridge? I'm in good health."
Granny nudged him with her arm.
Grandpa immediately changed his mind: "Let Xiaoci do it and improve your cooking skills."
Shang Yanci: "Okay."
Pei Yuning's face gradually cooled down, and he thought of the musical, so he reminded them, "Grandpa and grandma, Ah Yan, the musical starts at 8 o'clock tonight. Let's go there after dinner."
The three of them answered at the same time: "Okay."
After breakfast, Pei Yuning and Shang Yanci went to work. Grandpa and grandma were resting at home. Yesterday, I went to several places with my two old relatives. I had a lot of fun and was really tired.
Florence Street, underground casino.
At this moment, Zhou Du was tied to a wooden chair with a bruised face.
The day before yesterday, he won nearly 30 million with less than one million. With the flattery of people around him, his inner desires swelled to the extreme, and he always wanted to make one last bet before stopping.
As a result, he lost 5 million yesterday afternoon. He wanted to stop gambling and leave with the remaining 25 million.
But when he went to the restroom on the way, he heard someone next to him making a phone call saying that the eldest wife of the Pei family had been sent to the Y City Nursing Home. Their family had been keeping it a secret from the outside world, and in fact, she had been sent away for about a month.
Zhou Du panicked for a moment, but he calmed down and waited for the man to finish the call. He handed him a pack of expensive cigarettes and asked, "Brother, where did you hear the news? The eldest brother of the Pei family is already this old. Could it be that he wants to marry a third wife?"
The man took the cigarette and put it in his mouth: "A friend of mine saw the eldest lady of the Pei family in the nursing home with his own eyes. She must be the one. What's wrong with her age? As long as there is money, everything can be discussed."
After that person left, Zhou Du stood there in a daze. Could it be that what happened that year had been discovered?
There are all kinds of people coming to the underground casino, from famous nobles to poor people. The outfit of the man just now was very expensive, so it is normal that he has some status and knows some secrets of the rich.
Zhou Du could no longer count on Xu Han from now on. He was sweating profusely. He returned to the card table and continued to place bets, hoping in his heart that he could win more money and leave Beijing, this place of trouble, as soon as possible.
So he had been gambling since yesterday afternoon until now, and not only did he lose the remaining 25 million, but he also lost another 25 million.
He believed that the casino was playing tricks, so he overturned the tables and chairs to cause trouble. After being beaten up by a group of people, he was blindfolded and locked in a quiet room.
After an unknown amount of time, the door slowly opened from the outside, and he heard someone respectfully call out, "Mr. Shang."
